Fowl Parenting by Brian Gordon & Parenting Comics by Kos Og Kaos

Dedicated to my author friend, Helen Jones, the conclusion to my three-part bird special has to do with my getting into the role of dad. Obviously, a crucial part of the preparation is reading parenting comics. Some of the best I’ve come across are by Brian Gordon, a cartoonist who’s also a dad. This means he’s got plenty of inspiration for the parenting comics he creates for his website, Fowl Language.

Hehe I love the Fowl Language comics!! I had an ad on his site to mine for a little while! crappypictures.com is another good one I think- not sure if she still updates, but she has a couple of books out.

I see you’re right in the thick of it Nicolas. The one thing I remember was taking a nap with one of the kids and they pried my eyelid up and asked – is there anyone in there? It still makes me laugh.

Brilliant :D. That just about sums it up, although I stopped at No.2 and there were 5 years between each (No.1 — a noisy, hyperactive extrovert girl and No.2 — a quiet, thoughtful introvert boy!). I also instinctively knew what sex child each child was from early on in my pregnancies.

For the last four weeks, we have had our one year old grandson living with us. I can personally vouch that everything in those cartoons is 100% true! Make the most of your lovely daughter for now, Nicholas. Once she can move, walk, and open cupboards, put her finger into plugs, and try to get into the TV, the real work begins!
Best wishes, Pete. (Hiding in the office…)

Lol – practically rolling on the floor – these cartoonists definitely have nailed parenting on the head. As a parent I have experienced frustration, overwhelming tiredness, wondered if I was doing a good job as a parent, etc. I can still remember my youngest daughter at the age of two looking up at me with her big blue eyes, a mop of blonde hair framing her face telling me very seriously she wasn’t naughty, she was a good girl. I had to run out of the room because I was on the verge of laughing at her – not a good idea when you’re trying to teach your children good behaviour! Funny thing is, parenting is the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life 😀
